Well, the end is in sight. I just finished talking to Abe. He is at Spassk. Kostya, the director there, came and met Abe yesterday morning and biked with him the whole day. Abe has been praying for the villages and towns and people as he goes, but on the bike you can't do that together, so they stopped every time there was a sign for a village and prayed together. Obviously it slowed the trip down as there were about 25 or so villages and so they didn't arrive until 9:30 at night when it was quite dark already.
I can hear the weariness in Abe's voice even though he rested today. He said someone asked him if he was anxious to get home. He said THAT is an understatement. :) He is dropping his tent and a few things there as Kostya has made arrangements for him to stay with people. He has a two days' ride to Vladivostok and then still has to buy plane tickets home. So you can pray that he will get good connections. The importance of this still lies on his needing to be out of the country on time. I have a feeling he won't be wanting to look at a bike for a long time!
